It's just their Chromium shell, and not using their own rendering engine. (In case anyone was wondering if this was about EdgeHTML being ported.)

EdgeHTML isn't getting ported. It's dead. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EdgeHTML

This was just a matter of time coming. I wouldn't be surprised to see a Linux port soon, if fact I'd be surprised not to.

The motivation seems to be to establish a solid consistent foundation layer for Microsoft to deliver cross platform Electron apps, like Teams and VS Code. EdgeHTML is no good for that, so it got ditched for Chromium.

EdgeHTML is being killed on Windows as well. Chromium with Microsoft chrome is their new default browser.
